Can you sit on a pool table while taking a shot?
No sharking! Contrary to popular belief, sharking has no place in billiards. Sit or stand away from the table when your opponent is shooting. Some recreational players even go as far as placing themselves straight in line with the shot, “accidentally” twitching in the middle of the shooter's back stroke.
